The hallmark of the next 10-15 days will be a slow-moving weather pattern. After a storm scoots out to sea south of Southern New England bringing chilly showers on Saturday, there will be three mainly dry days into the middle of next week. Eventually, another storm system will move into the Northeast and showers and […]
October is off to a rainier start than September, and that is good news for drought-parched Southern New England. There is more rain in the forecast for the middle of this week before about 48 hours of dry weather from Wednesday afternoon into Friday. Another front will head for Southern New England and bring more […]
It looks like we’ll continue to come out of a dry stretch of weather with rain or shower threats every few days for the next couple of weeks. Showers are likely on Saturday, primarily in the afternoon and evening. Sunday through Tuesday looks dry before another front brings rain in the middle of next week. […]
A northeast wind will prevail for most of the rest of the workweek in Southern New England. That will keep it relatively cool during the day, and relatively mild at night because of cloud cover and the ocean temperature still in the 60s. There should be a roughly 10 degree temperature range from night to […]
Thursday’s rain storm was close but not close enough for most of Southern New England. Cape Cod and Nantucket received 1-2″ of rain, but the totals were paltry for most areas west of the Cape Cod Canal, including all of Rhode Island. Dry and warm weather is likely through the weekend into early next week, […]
A developing storm system that we have been watching closely over the past couple of days will likely come close enough to bring steady rain to Southeastern New England on Thursday. The storm is developing along the Southeastern United States coast and it will creep up the coast on Wednesday before arriving with rain late […]
A few measly showers on Sunday brought the rain total for the month to just over a half-inch in the Providence area. If there is no rain for the rest of the month, which is possible, then this will be the second driest September on record, trailing only 1914 when there was 0.48″ for the […]
This September is well on its way to being among the driest on record in Southern New England. There has only been 0.54″ of precipitation in the Providence area, and that’s just a hair above the record low total for the month – 0.48″ in 1914. Of course, there are still nearly two weeks left […]
The temperature is running 3° above normal in the Providence area at the midway point of the month. The very warm first week outweighed the much cooler second week. The average monthly temperature will continue drifting back to near normal as more cool weather is ahead for the next five days. Aside from a few […]
The second week of September has not been as warm as the first, but it’s still running a bit warmer than normal, and the month is averaging 5.5° warmer than normal in the Providence area through the first 11 days. That’s not unexpected considering how we saw the pattern changing near the end of August. […]
